The essence of the address

An expert above the split into technologies

The title of principal closes the technical promotion track in technology organizations: a person at that level leads design decisions spanning many teams and systems. The word “software” takes in the whole craft of building, from architecture to the delivery process. It is the widest possible scope in this family of names.

  • That lets it follow a career through successive changes of technology, which at such a grade matters in practice.
  • Both parts are understood in every technology organization in the world.
  • The .com extension matches an environment in which job titles are held in English.

Questions and answers

Why does technical debt never make the plan, even though everyone agrees it should be paid down?

Because on the other side there is always a feature with a client's name and a date on it, and paying down debt has neither. Nobody refuses outright – it simply moves by a quarter, and does so for three years. The only thing that breaks that is writing the repayment into the scope of a particular feature, as a condition of delivering it, instead of keeping it on a list of its own.

One large system or a set of separate services?

A single system is easier to start, to follow and to maintain as long as one or two teams work on it – and most companies never grow past that scale. Splitting into services lets teams deploy independently and scale what needs scaling, but it moves the complexity into the network, where failures are harder to diagnose. A split forced by the number of teams works; a split decided in advance, for the architecture's sake, usually does not.

How do you tell the problem is the process and not the people?

By a change waiting longer than it took to write – then the bottleneck is reviews, environments and releases, not the pace of work. The second signal is repairs of the same kind coming back every few weeks, under different authors. The third: a new person needs weeks to ship anything; that always speaks about the system, never about them.

Who gains most from the softwareprincipal.com address?

An engineer at principal level, an independent software architect and an adviser working with technology organizations. The name binds its holder to no platform, so it follows each change of technology. A specialist building a brand around one language will be better served by an address naming that technology.

Can I run my own email address at softwareprincipal.com?

Yes. You tell us where your mail is – Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or another provider – and we add the records that service expects, so messages come in and go out from this address. Invitations to architecture reviews and advisory inquiries then arrive at an address tied to no employer. The mailboxes themselves are looked after by your provider, not by us.

What exactly does the rent for softwareprincipal.com cover?

The exclusive right to use the address for the term of the agreement, its upkeep and renewal with the registrar, a redirect to the link you choose — a profile or your website — and your mail provider's records. It does not cover website hosting, mailboxes or building a site. The price shown next to the address is the amount including VAT that we charge each month.

Can you take softwareprincipal.com away from me during the agreement?

No. We do not terminate your agreement as long as you pay and the address is not used for abuse — the reasons are set out in the terms. So you can build your brand under this address with peace of mind. The one exception without any fault of yours is withdrawing the whole service from the offer — we would tell you 90 days in advance, and you could buy the address.
